Once people realize that they might have to pay for the "freebies," attitudes change a lot.
If one counts all the various programs and expenses related to the U.S. military such as Overseas Contingency Operations, National Nuclear Security Administration, and Department of Homeland Security, America’s annual military budget is actually closer to $1.6 trillion rather than the roughly $700 billion the media dutifully reports. Astonishingly, this true amount is comparable to half the world’s military expenditures.
Amerikan senators just recently voted for the National Defense Authorization Act that will increase military spending by an additional $81 billion. Over an additional billion dollars of the increase will go toward strengthening foreign militaries, mostly human-rights violator, Israel.
The tax payer pays for this "freebie." Specifically YOU Coyote, will have to pay for this. Money spent on weapons for other countries. Instead of american health care and american education.
Just when can I expect YOUR attitude to change?
Be specific.
